HAPPY CANADA DAY!

On the topic of creative ice cream flavours, I’m pretty sure the women at Devour have it covered with their Strawberry Balsamic Ice Cream (mentioned yesterday by Dea in the great Ice Cream Soda / Float / “Spider” (thanks, Karen!) debate).

Nonetheless, my plan was a lovely mint and lemongrass ice cream. I had yet to research a recipe but I was pretty sure I could do it.

Problem #1: I couldn’t find my ice cream maker. Hmmm. Jim and I live in an impossibly small space, and ice cream makers don’t just get up and walk away, do they?

Problem #2: Several Canada-Day-Eve drinks too many, including 2 bottles + 1 can of champagne. Last night Della offered me her KitchenAid ice cream attachment. Excellent idea! I could throw it in the freezer when I got home, and make the ice cream this morning. Alas, thoughts of ice cream and ice cream makers dissolved into champagne bubbles (and discussions of world politics – nice combo).

So, here I sit, sans mint and lemongrass ice cream. Hmmm. What to do now, but share some pictures I took at the Variety “Food Fight” the other day? At least they’re entertaining, if a little egg-heavy (wait a sec – there are eggs in ice cream, aren’t there?). P.S. Sorry about the quality of the pictures.
